I am using an iMac with system 10.6.8 and a Safari browser. When I download the firefox program, I do not get the usual global firefox icon. I get a rectangular box with a slot at the end and the label "Firefox". If I transfer this icon to my Applications folder, this icon becomes an alias which cannot be transferred to the Dock. How can I install Firefox?

Double Click that slot with the Firefox logo on it. Then, a Window will appear. Drag the Firefox icon to the Application Folder in that window. Firefox will install. Close the window, drag the thing with the slot to your trash can, open applications, and open Firefox

I followed the specific instructions for installing Firefox on my iMac several times and each time I got the wrong Firefox icon.
